IMDb plot summary: In turn-of-the-century Mexico, two very different women become a bank-robbing duo in an effort to combat a ruthless enforcer terrorizing their town.
Directed by Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg. Starring Penélope Cruz, Salma Hayek, Steven Zahn, and Dwight Yoakam.
In the first 15-20 minutes or so of this movie, I was having a good time. Some interesting female characters teaming up to rob corrupt banks is a good premise. And then... whoo, did it go off the deep end. The characters lose all their early promise and devolve into petty cat fights and slapstick revolving entirely around them as sexual objects. How tremendously disappointing.
